Residential Roofing
Provided By Your Roofing Contractor in Alberta
As a Calgary roofing contractor, we know roofs and how to replace them on your home. Maintaining a high quality, properly installed roof can protect your Calgary home from the elements as well as reduce your electricity bills.
This is the most commonly used and least expensive roof covering material. Asphalt roofing materials consist of either a rag fiber or a fiberglass mat impregnated with asphalt and covered with colored mineral granules. A wide variety of designs, weights, colors and sizes are available.
Asphalt shingles traditionally come in 3-tab profiles. However, you will now see newer Calgary homes that have steeper roof pitches coming in laminate shingle profiles. A wide range of “architectural” shingles are available, whose profiles suggest the random shadows and patterns of slate, wood shingles, or ceramic tile
Asphalt roofs show their age when the mineral granules wear off, reveal the black asphalt and the corners and edges of the shingles begin to curl and crack. This is an indication that the asphalt composition has begun to dry out and lose its weather-proof seal. When only a few shingles show the above type of wear, the simple and less costly replacement of worn-out shingles may be all that is needed. If one out of every five to ten shingles shows this wear and aging, it is may be time to re-roof.
There are several other roofing materials commonly used for residential roofing:
Metal Roofing
Wood Shingles and Shakes
Clay and Concrete Tiles
Slate
Synthetic Roofing Materials
Choosing the right roofing material depends on factors like your budget, climate, aesthetic preferences, and the structural requirements of your home. If you need more detailed advice or have specific questions, feel free to ask!

Insurance Claim Specialists
Home and business owners sometimes fail to file insurance claims because they do not recognize the signs of damage. This is often the case with wind or hail damaged roofs. But over time, the damage continues to deteriorate your roof system and will be more expensive to fix and probably will not be covered through your insurance.
